2024 iF Design Awards


The iF Design Awards is one of the most prestigious design competitions in the world. Since 1954, the iF label has been a reliable sign of good design across nine disciplines and 81 categories for consumers and the design community. To be awarded an iF Design Award means passing a rigorous two-stage selection by renowned design experts who evaluate submissions based on idea, form, function, differentiation, and impact.

We are humbled and excited to have received one coveted Gold iF Design Award and 12 additional iF Design accolades in 2024 for our human-centric designs and technologies developed in our global design studios in the United States, United Kingdom, India, and China.

Kohler Co., under its KOHLER®, Mira, and KLAFS brands, was presented with iF Product Design Awards for product solutions in showering, bathroom faucets, toilets, sinks, storage, kitchen faucets, and saunas.

KOHLER® Loope™ Container-Based Sanitation Toilet was honored with the Gold iF Award​.

Loope is one of the 75 Gold winners and the first KOHLER product to take home this accolade. The waterless sanitation solution product was inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goal of “ensuring access to safe and affordable sanitation for all,” and stems from Kohler’s Innovation for Good™ incubator program, harnessing associates’ passions for providing access to sustainable living. ​
